I grew up around Dachshunds and Chesapeake Bay retrievers. My whole life I have always been a dog lover! My Husband and I have two loving miniature, short haired dachshunds, Cookie (age 7) and Guinness (age 5). They are not spoiled at all! My in laws live on island and have a weimaraner, Cody, who we visit often. I love taking them for walks in our neighborhood, for a stroll on Kailua Beach, or a walk up Makapu'u Lighthouse Trail. I am a nurse and have very flexible hours. I do not work from home. I am willing to assist with your dogs daily routine. Just ask! I look forward to caring for your dog(s). Aloha! "I work hard so my dog can have a better life."
